Jens Lehmann says his
goalkeeping rivals at Arsenal will have to wait before getting
their hands on the number one jersey in North
London.
The German is in the veteran stage of his career and Gunners chief
Arsene Wenger has moved to bring in a younger rival by signing
rising Polish star Lukasz Fabianski.
With Manuel Almunia also on the books at Emirates Stadium, Wenger
has plenty of options at his disposal.
However, Lehmann is convinced he will be the number one next term
provided he remains free of injury.
"I am never certain of being number one keeper at Arsenal, but
provided I am fit and have no distractions in my private life, the
other keepers cannot hold a candle to me in terms of my experience
and ability," Lehmann is quoted as saying in the Sunday
Mirror.
